Easter Bunny

This morning we took the kids to see the Easter Bunny at the mall. Evan ran right up to him and told him that he wants a big chocolate bunny for Easter. Claire slept right through the whole thing. What a great age for both of them, neither of them are scared of the big stuffed bunny!!

Baby Portraits

My friend Abby took these of Claire last Wednesday. She was a week and a half old in these pics. I love how they turned out. It's amazing to me how much Claire looks like Evan. She really is just a smaller, girl version of him. I've got to pull out some old pics of him off of my discs and post them side by side.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hi Mom!

Her first time at the Magic Kingdom

Joe's brother Kevin and his family came to visit us this week. Yesterday, we all went to the Magic Kingdom together. Again, a second child, who is only 2 1/2 weeks old, does not seem to stop our movement. However, I did have a few panic attacks about having an infant in the mass crowds of people. Despite all that, it was very fun going to the Magic Kingdom with them. I also got to finally ride the Goofy Roller Coaster with Evan. I have never been able to go on it with him because I was pregnant the whole time he's been big enough to ride. It was the highlight of my day to go on it with him and see him ride with kids hand up in the air yelling "AHHHHHH".

Orioles Spring Training Game

Having one child did not slow Joe and I down with all the traveling and activities that we like to do. However, I thought having two would. Silly silly me. I found out that the Orioles have their spring training in Sarasota and thought, what a great idea for the four of us to travel there to see them play. What about our 2 week old and the 4 hour round trip drive? She'll sleep of course. And that is just what she did. I never got any pics of her there, because she was strapped to me in the Baby Bjorn. However, her big brother had a BLAST at the game. As you can see he and Joe were all decked out in their Orioles gear. Evan charmed all the people around us and had them all laughing when he screamed as loud as he could to the baseball players, "Hit the ball to MEEEEEEEE!". Sadly he did not get a ball at the game, but he did get a new Orioles shirt. Now we have 4 Orioles shirts for the rotation, thank goodness!
